Many thanks to NetGalley, Thomas & Mercer, and Lucinda Berry for the opportunity to read her latest gripping thriller - 4.5 stars rounded up for an emotional ride!
Three women - Dani, Kendra and Lindsey - have been best friends forever. They each have a teenage son the same age who are also best friends. But one night a tragic accident happens and no one's life will ever be the same. One boy is dead, one is in a coma, and one is so traumatized he can't speak. As the police are investigating, the women themselves are desperate to know the true story behind the accident - but at what cost? Told from the viewpoint of each of these women, we see how this accident affects their life, their marriages, their other children and their relationship to each other.
This was a gripping, emotional read that I couldn't put down. It all comes to the heart of how well we can really know another person - especially as our children grow older and have lives separate from ours. Throw in social media and everything takes on a new level. Are we the type to excuse our children's behavior? Blame ourselves for their behavior or our husband? Much to think about in this book. My only issue with this book was that I had trouble keeping the characters fixed in my brain as to whose mother and wife they were and kept having to go back and double check! I love this author's work; she was a clinical psychologist who specialized in childhood trauma so she knows her stuff and knows how to write a gripping story!
